Weak motor power with the latest version

Hi,
I have a Spektrum DX9 and I use the RX2SIM to link to Next.
All is OK with version 1.440 but when I install version 1.466, I cannot get the motor of the heli's to run on high enough speed. I have recalibrated my transmitter but that does not help.
On the other hand when I use the fix wing plane. Even with the trottle fully down, the motor is still running.
So why all OK with v1.440 and problems with v1.46x ?
Regards,
Gilbert
PS: The fixed wing plane still needs work to be done: Flying knife-edge is way too easy .. :-)

Hi Claus,

My monitor says it is receiving 1920 x 1200 at 60 hz. (I could not find another way to find out what the frame rate is.) The video driver is AMD radeon hd 6670. With Windows 10 there seems to be little or nothing one can change.

PS: Impressive video's!

Hi Claus,

I have done this and it shows 60 Hz. (I can send you a screen dump but I am a bit reluctant to install yet another software (addPics) on my PC.

Hello Klaus,

I am using the standard version.
(Is the Oculus version a different download or a setting in the standard version?)

Hi Klaus,

know what the problem is. In the new version (both standard and Oculus) the pitch channel, Aux1 in My Spektrum DX9, is no longer recognized as pitch. Instead my Trottle channel is now recognised as pitch. And I can no longer control Throttle. (I have tried Gear, Aux2, Aux3 en Aux4). This explains also why the heli has weak power.
I was expecting that the new version would take over the settings of the previous version but that is apparently not the case.
I can control the motor using the model settings. Is this the way the new version is suppose to work: Always in Stunt mode (constant RPM)? If so, no problem. ( I have tried to get 'Trottle' working again via channel 4 which is also Pitch but this new version does not seem to like this.

Hi Klaus,

All is OK now: I have managed to get throttle and pitch assigned to the two appropriate channels.

I still think the fixed wing model needs more work. Flying knife-edge requires little rudder corrections and one would expect then that a knife-edge looping with full rudder would be easy and smooth but that's not the case. A wing-over is not realistic either. I have first changed the weight to 9kg expecting that the rudder issues would disappear but that is not the case. I have then changed the weight to 5 kg: first some flashes and then just blue sky and no response anymore ...

Hi Klaus,

What I experience has nothing to with expo, full rudder is full rudder. (And I have 0% expo on my transmitter). Check the following: Give a brutal full rudder left or right. The plane reacts immediatly and then stops for a fraction of a second and then continues to turn (?).
No, I do not fly big models but there are people in the club flying these and I do not see that much difference, exept maybe that big models give you more time to react.
Speaking of big and small models: I think this is what disturbs me: The simulated model flies and feels like a mix of big and small plane behaviour. A Waterfall is dead easy and the plane hardly looses altitude!! (like an 150 gram indoor plane). A Hover is very difficult even when started from a knife edge (like a big "non 3D" plane with not enough rudder surface).
If elevator and rudder would be actors in a theatrical play, I would say that the elevator is overacting and the rudder still looking for the right interpretation of his role.

Please do not see this as criticism, I only try to help and I know that these similators are complicated.
